Themos Fair

Avvy has the NAX API running on the chinese chip from before the corporate war. It is spitting out sentences from Shomer’s archived bootleg semweb OS database.

He inserts the mechanism to outline, sort, normalize, group, name, explain, visualize, and dramatize.

Philosophy is derived from articles, authors, sites, links, socnets and products.

Too dry, adjust.

Very nebulous, tweek.

Perspective is the (lack of) separation between observer, description and subjects, macro-manifestations of particulars, arrays of elements of change, signals, sequences, and switches. Frameworks predict exceptions.

Warming up.

Bartender wearing a t-shirt of leftover logos looks up from tidying the shelf, clock drifted somehow, and a young woman walks in with some sort of doll. She sees a bunch of eggs painted in portraits and some coupons for redemption rates.

On the wall, a retro-style TV starts displaying Rules of Correction. She says “Speaker, be nice.”

Bartender asks if she’s on spring break and has got any ID which she doesn’t so he pours her a diet soda in a Blade Runner cup.

TV shows two guys, look like twins, in this very place. Bartender is asking what it’ll be. Smiling guy wants rum and sulphur, serious-looking guy asks for water for both. It seems to turn reddish when he takes the glasses.

Bartender asks how long they’re in town. Smilling guy says probably 3 days. Just showing his friend around, the possibilities, that sort of thing. Bartender starts sketching on an eggshell.

“If you don’t accept”, smiley says, “it goes to JI, up to you. I can take your place. Haven’t been up there in ages. You might like it around here for a while. Trick is not to dispel their illusions. I’ll leave by the cave and make the goodbyes to the crew.”

Amid a very fast guitar riff, the TV show changes to extreme crowdsourced competitions. Host kind of looks like the egg heads. Bartender starts texting on a phone.

Avvy looks around to verify that the coast is clear and tugs the elevator cable a couple of times to quickly pull him up and out of there.
